Astros' Jacob Melton: Suffers sprained ankle

Melton was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after Friday's win over Minnesota, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Melton is set to undergo testing Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, but manager Joe Espada noted that early indicators aren't favorable. If Melton ends up needing an IL stint, it could open up a spot for Taylor Trammell (calf) to make his Houston debut.
